ritchie's face in libya with that you can stay up to date on our website at www dot com i'm kristie what i'll be back at the top of the hour thanks for joining. us for all of the. before november 989. these are the heroes of eastern europe. we talk to those who began to struggle for freedom and the most personal courage. to walk will score you going north to level corporal more school

years ago when the school we have for a goal didn't surprise us all coming 10 years before the flood sure what. does it take to change the course of history. raising the curtain starts september 30th on d w. in libya over 5000 refugees are languishing in detention centers in inhumane conditions hundreds of people are crammed into their hungry have no clean drinking water and many are ill reports of human trafficking torture and random shootings are common. they said you're a slave you're black brown. even woke us up in the middle of the night to torture us we know when we're in a war. a german diplomat. talk about serious human rights abuses so what exactly is

going on there and why. our journalist reports from neighboring music which was taken in 3000 refugees from camps in libya. thank you. thank god. thank you for. these images show the conditions in libyan jails they were taken by refugees in different detention centers human rights activists describe them as trustworthy so messaging services reestablished direct contact with 2 refugees who've been trapped in a libyan detention center for 2 years their voice messages reveal their plight we've altered their voices to protect their identities. we've been tortured were terrifies we're suffering and dying from different kinds of diseases. we were kidnapped we were victims of violence we're starving people have died our

life is disgusting so we're appealing for our voices to be heard in the world we're going to send refugees living in the land of hell i. want to learn more and meet the people who went through the cell we decide to travel to new. this country has taken in almost 3000 refugees from neighboring libya. one of them is an 18 year old woman we'll call amina she comes from somalia while trying to flee from the civil war there she was abducted and brought to a torture chamber in the libyan desert i mean his abductors demanded $8000.00 u.s. dollars for her release to up the pressure i mean i was tortured while her parents were forced to listen on the phone. the whole day with which. he was the light changed me on. hung me up and tortured me with electric shocks hated it.

they tortured men with electric shocks to their genitals and women with shocks to their breasts until they cried and screamed loudly. they did it so they would get the money faster. the torture systematic the methods she describes accounts from many other refugees after year and a half i mean i managed to escape as she tried to cross the mediterranean she was picked up by the libyan coast guard and forced into a government run detention center model who lives in the detention center is 100 percent worse we. love it that while there was not enough food. once every 2 days we were given a small portion of pastor dry bread and a little water it's no way to live for someone who has to stay there longer you people were dying of diseases and injuries they suffered i believe that there are

barely any healthy migrants in detention. now i mean i was living in a camp run by the un refugee agency she hopes some country will take her and she doesn't care which one as long as it's safe. and sound there morally is the university r's representative here in new share she works closely with her colleagues in libya and knows the conditions there. me what happens in these centers is is the contrary of life is the contrary of respect is the contrary of human rights and it's the contrary of the right for every person to feel protected she believes the international community needs to do more as almost 5000 refugees are still being held in libyan detention centers and everybody should feel responsible to make this stop and to find a toilet if human i'll turn it to. we

fly on to august to learn how the evacuees from libya are doing the city and central news there is known as the gateway to the sahara but we have never seen it why did you see what some 1600 refugees all rescued from libya live in this un run camp it's a tent city in the desert. here we need it to him from sudan that's what he wants to be called for security reasons he tells us he will stone in jail and then sold into slavery and then. people came and bought us like slaves. and they said we will let you work you get money for it. but in the end we didn't get any money. or nothing but he said you're a slave be a black man and even woke us up in the middle of the night to torture us. we show

him videos secretly recorded by refugees they remind him of his own experiences. on the on when it's all going to see these pictures i remember my friend who was killed in the jail. he was my best friend. in libya lawlessness doesn't only exist in government prisons the ongoing civil war has left the country controlled by different militias and largely in a legal vacuum. migrants in particular are often viewed as fair game. matty i'm from sudan was abducted in broad daylight. to give us a look at it when i went out to go to was shop 3 men grabbed me and forced me into a car where they raped me right there on the street and just threw me out onto the road. to this day her wounds haven't healed she says the doctor just gets so

sedatives nothing that really helps. what. i did was i'm tired i'm very tired. for 4 months i've been losing blood. i never get better treatment. i'm so tired that for months i've been going to the medical center but i just don't get better treatment. here in new zealand she finally feels safe but she's plagued with fears about her future and neighbor as shasta concerns. so tell me how are you doing these days not well. i feel like i have no future. i've suffered so much. of the. reason that i want my children to go to school and learn something. so that they don't end up illiterate like me what . kind of. many migrants still come through i guess.

us on their way to libya no one knows exactly how many at its peak some 330000 people a year crossed through august the town has long been a stopping place for people from west africa our route to find work in libya or algeria the city profited from their presence but that came to an end in 2015 when north with migration was officially halted the european union agreed to pay over a 1000000000 years in aid in exchange for news or closing the border with its neighbors to the north development aid as payback for stopping migrants trying to make their way to europe a deal nobody would admit to officially with this deal agathis main source of income disappeared stores like this no longer have many customers he has been affected by the border closure too he calls himself up there as he's a people smuggler since 2015 his job has become

a criminal offense so you won't risk showing his face he says the journey has also become more dangerous for migrants drivers must take more remote routes and of a military patrol approaches their just drop off the migrants in the desert and flee many die of thirst. to the world. more people are dying in the sahara than before you don't know where they are so here is huge so you find them 3 or 6 months after they die. why do you have these like for morals. abdel-aziz also knows about the torture chambers often migrants 1st stop in libya he has his own reasoning why that is so that. the migrants largely brought this upon themselves. he explains that if refugees can't pay for their trip through the desert the drivers sell them to torture us mainly members of criminal gangs or militias he says after

all his drivers have to make ends meet. or unless i get the booming what if they say i spent money on your behalf i want to get it back and turn a profit or like that's why they started torturing people. for him there's no room for compassion business as business. is because if it didn't help migrants. to put up with i do this to earn a living i wouldn't do anything that's against the law to help them along with. many refugees eyewear of the dangers but they won't let that deter them to find out why we make our way to one of the so-called to get us on the outskirts of i could us here people smugglers hide migrants away until they are enough of them to turn a profit each passenger must pay around $500.00 u.s.

dollars for the trip through the sahara. he is one of them he's already set off 3 times but each time he was picked up by the military at the libyan border. now did you sort of know the route through the desert is not could be no problem libya and the mediterranean aren't good either. but what else should i do when you have no other option you must have a clear goal and it that we need and the goal for everyone here is europe there's no question about that as a guinea and as man has little chance of being granted the right to stay in europe but that won't stop him. you know the europe wants to close the border. we the young africans of the 21st century are fed up with europe. or now modern day lit up i'm going to report on even though i want to go to europe i hate europe we question that that's why because these days europe couldn't survive without africa . africa is rich in diamonds and uranium or new premier produce there is the

biggest uranium producer where you live and yet we pity its children and if you think you my country good neighbor is one of the biggest producers of bauxite after australia it's going a bit with that only if i study geology and i know that. but who profits right. with on the good makes me angry it makes me sick at heart when i see there's a new phobia the masquerade for me what is europe doing to us. the anger and despair appalled people here but so is the hope for a better life. because
